During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of video classes and real-time online education has increased, but the lack of interaction between instructors and learners remains a challenging problem to be resolved. This paper designs and implements a learning support system that utilizes a digital human to improve faculty-student interaction, which plays an important role in increasing the educational effect and satisfaction of real-time online classes. In this paper, a digital human participates in a class as a virtual learner and asks questions raised by other learners through an anonymous chat system to the instructor on behalf of the learners. In addition, as a class facilitator, the digital human analyzes the lecturer's speech in real time and provides it to the learner in the form of a summary of the class, thereby facilitating faculty-student interaction. In order to confirm that the proposed system can be used in actual online real-time classes, we apply our system to Zoom classes. Experimental results show that facilitated Q&A and real-time class summaries are successfully provided through our digital human-based learning support system.

In this paper, we investigate the effects of group composition according to the personality type of learner on the content of discussion in web-based synchronous online discussion. The experiment for this study was conducted with high school students. First, we conducted the MBTI(Myers Briggs Type Indicator) test and based upon the result, we classified learners into 3 groups; introverts group, extroverts group, and introverts/extroverts mixed group. After the online discussion, the content of discussion were analyzed by the units of meaning, based on the four dimensions which were proposed in the 'content analysis model' by Henri(l992). Among four dimensions, 'social' and 'interactive' dimension belonged to category of inter-dependence, and 'cognitive' and 'metacognitive' dimension belonged to category of subject-relevance. The introverts/extroverts mixed group, which was heterogeneously composed, had the most positive effects on the total numbers of the units of meaning, the inter-dependence, and the subject-relevance of the contents of discussion.

최근 네트웤의 발달로 웹기반 강의시스템과 문제풀이 학습법이 많이 도입되고 있다. 이 학습법은 물리적 폐쇄성을 극복하고 학습자의 편이성을 제공하고, 학습자와 교수자간 상호작용성을 높일 수 있으므로 학습효과를 최대로 고양시킬 수 있다. 현재 웹 기반용 학습시스템들은 많이 개발되어 있으나 온라인에서 학습할 수 있는 실습교과목에 대한 교수-학습 모형 개발은 미흡한 편이다. 본 논문에서는 사례로서 실습교과목을 위한 실습문제풀이학습시스템을 위한 교수설계모형을 제안한다.

Game is the cultural product, which gives users high authority in usage process with its high interactivity. This study is about the user innovation based on customer empowerment, and the possibilities to change the game itself applying high activity of the game. Especially, game modification, which users transform the original game, is an example that the interactivity and changeability of game are maximized. However, these elements were not considered when constructing frameworks to investigate the competition and strategy in game industry. Therefore, this study is based on the customer empowerments of the game modification. Moreover, this study proposes the newly reorganized strategic group map in game industry, which is based on game user innovation and user evaluation.

With the rapid development of mobile communication tools, customers are using SNS as a major information tool. SNS can provide information to a small number of customers as well as people around them, with information about a product or service that a small number of customers know through experience. With these characteristics, dessert cafes are being used as a major marketing tool for online websites and mobile phones using SNS. Therefore, in this study, theoretical considerations about e-WOM quality, perceived value, and visit intention were performed. The effect of e-WOM quality of dessert cafe on perceived value was analyzed and the effect of perceived value on visit intention was analyzed. Based on these results, I would like to suggest theoretical implications and practical implications for online marketing of dessert cafes. This study was conducted to survey the customers who have visited dessert cafe through oral communication within the last 6 months. The survey was conducted from September 4, 2018 to September 18, 2018, and was used for the analysis of 317 additional items. The research hypotheses between the e-WOM quality of the dessert cafe and the utilitarian value, hedonic value, and visiting intention were used the structural equation model(SEM). First, neutrality and interactivity have a significant effect on utilitarian value, but consensus and vividness have not significant effect. Second, It was found that the consensus, vividness, and neutrality had a significant effect on the hedonic value but interactivity was not found to have a significant effect. Third, hedonic value has a significant effect on visit intention, but utilitarian value has not significant effect. As a result, online e-WOM quality management is important.

As internet and mobile technology brings rapid transformation to this society of information, how relations are conducted between customers have become a critical factor influencing companies. Companies are creating Internet communities based on their brands, encouraging customers to actively form and develop brand communities. Thus, this report proposes a plan to analyze the effectiveness of community activities based on the customers active involvement and how to effectively manage and utilize it. The purpose of this research is to understand the effects on-line brand communities and their characters have on customer behavior. Also, it will study the effects community attitudes have on brand decisions and oral transmission communication when on-line brand communities choose a brand. This report was conducted to survey on-line university students to understand how communities' attitude affects the decision of on-line university brand and oral transmissions when students choose to study at a on-line university. According to research, those factors brought positive responses to character of the brand communities(confidentiality of information, interactivity, convenience, intimacy) and by doing so, on the customer's attitude side, positive results on intention of purchase and oral transmissions can be expected. In addition, the character of the brand communities affects intention of purchase and oral transmission communication. Based on this research, it is possible to propose a marketing strategy that revitalizes brand communities' activities.

Social media is a general term for online services by which users share opinions, perspectives, and experiences. It supports interactions between users in sharing contents on it and weak ties among them play an important role in the process. This exploratory study attempts to identify crucial factors of establishing weak ties between social media users in the perspective of social network theory and uncertainty reduction theory. We collected data through diary study and in-depth interview and analyzed it following grounded theory approach. As a result, social media users more actively interacted each other or shared contents based on weak ties, compared to strong ties. In addition, similarity, self-disclosure, and relevance appeared to facilitate establishment of weak ties, by reducing psychological distance between social media users and perceived uncertainty of them.
